WINS NAHB EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE YEAR AWARD

   Kristi Sutterfield, Executive Director of the Texas Association of Builders (TAB), recently received the 2006 Executive Officer of the Year Award from the Executive Officers Council (EOC) of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

The EOC serves the more than 800 executives who manage NAHB’s state and local home builders associations, primarily through professional development and association management education opportunities.

The Executive Officer of the Year Award, named for NAHB’s former Chief Legal Counsel Gary Komarow, is presented annually to an executive officer whose accomplishments in association management have been extraordinary and who has gone over and beyond promoting the goals of the EOC, while assisting the advancement of fellow executive officers.

 “The Texas Association of Builders is fortunate to have such a caring and dedicated Executive Director as Kristi Sutterfield,” said Jerry Carter, President of the Texas Association of Builders.  “She is tireless in her efforts to support the home building industry in Texas and we are pleased that NAHB has recognized her as the 2006 Executive Officer of the Year.”

Sutterfield, who has been with the Texas Association of Builders since 2002, oversees the third largest statewide home builders association in the United States, with over 14,000 members and 31 local associations.
